In the video I put this Beginner RC Plane through its paces flying it in all three flight modes. I had to admit that I had a good time flying this E-flite Trainer Plane in some wind on a nice sunny day.

Review Notes:

Pros:
- The flight times are good
- In easy/SAFE Mode, it can land itself
- It comes already assembled, which is normal for an E-flite UMX RC Plane.
- The plane can be upgraded with SAFE Plus GPS drone technology to add Autoland, Virtual Fence, and Holding Pattern. That is sold separately
- As your skills improve, it will grow with you with its three different flight modes with this UM Trainer Plane.
- It is FPV ready with an OSD when using compatible cameras and headsets, unlike the trainer gold standard, Hobbyzone Champ.
- It is FPV ready with OSD when using compatible cameras and headsets, unlike the trainer gold standard, Hobbyzone Champ.
- The plane is made of very nice quality foam, unlike most Micro RC Planes.
- This E-flite Ultra Micro RC Plane has a box that makes an excellent transport container, so don't throw it away!

Cons:
- Some of the pros are going to be complicated for a noob to figure out on their own. Reach out to Horizon Hobby technical support if you get stuck.

Overall, this is a very cool Trainer RC Plane and I can't wait to test it outside.

The Hawk 5 is great value at this price and still a great quad. The 7inch G730L is a heck of a lot of value for a 7" quad having just gone through the expense of building my own. Fatsharks are a little bit of an unknown to me but seem like good specs and a great brand for a budget goggle.

Cockpit sheeting completed, I began soldering the landing gear pieces together. I have to solder washers on the inside of the axels and then make up my push rods. After that the airplane will be ready for a final sanding.

Took a while to show up in the lion kingdom's gootube recommendations. 46 miles is pretty huge for a private individual working with a few friends & a truck. In 4 miles, he's at the scientific definition of space which is rapidly becoming 50 miles.

Very conspicuous how the rocket was never photographed & the design was never revealed. The internet guessed various commercially available motor sizes. The only design clue is a long ramp for lifting off. He's well within ICBM territory & either didn't want it used by terrorists or was banned by ITAR. The terrorism danger is going to keep amateurs from sharing plans & getting into space for some time.

A) I didn't break the raven , even with a few too fast landings
B) With the larger battery the CG is a little further forward and the elevator is really nice ( Did I move it about 5mm forward )
C) I did need to completely re-tune the Raven , it is almost hands off now ..
D) Lucky for me , the glide tune works a treat on launch ( No launch setting needed )
E) The Raven does like to glide with a bit of speed , not overly liking the slow speed stuff
F) I did try tuning in some flap for a slower glide , but definitely will need some down elevator mixing , otherwise the nose lifts and the Raven stalls out .
G) I need to change switches for the flap , I picked a bad switch .. Not intuitive to get to .

Did I mention , I didn't break the Raven ...
Seems all that extra cyno is helping .. ( From the previous repairs )

Prime Jet pro
It's done , it's ready ...
I need to do a CG test to see if it glides or GLUDS ! ( Glud being thumping the ground )
The 800mAh 2s battery is literally as far forward as I can get it to match the back yard glide tests . ( FF )

I've received the Eachine TX806 VTX from Banggood for testing and reviewing.

Eachine TX806 (Leaf) VTX has 9 bands A, b, E, F, r, U, o, L, H, 72 total channels (including illegal channels 4, 7 and 8 on the band E, according to the FCC regulations), 5 power levels 25mW/200mW/400mW/800mW/1000mW (actual power output below) and PitMode, SmartAudio for controlling the VTX settings remotely via Betaflight OSD. Eachine TX806 also has microphone on board for brioadcasting audio together with video feed. TX806 can be mounted in the stack as its two holes are aligned exactly to the stacks opposite corners. VTX has MMCX antenna connector which is superiour to small IPEX connector.

Package contents

TX806 comes with a VTX, MMCX linear dipole antenna, MMCX to RP-SMA or SMA adapter pigtail (can be selected on purchase), cable with 6pin 1.0mm JST-SH plug and a small instructions leaflet.

Tired of Max deg/s changing every time you change Super Rate? Set it to a fixed value!

Ever explore ways of shaping the curve from mid- to full-stick? A simple "Shape" parameter allows you to quickly cycle through all possibilities!

As Bardwell has taught us, setting Expo in Open TX is an evil thing that kills precision. But ever wonder about negative Expo? Easily explore the possibilities this adds in shaping the rate curve! Add center-stick precision! Grow the curve faster! Greater independent control of Pitch and Roll!

A handle is convenient for hoisting or carrying a flying boat like the ICON A5 in and out of the water. The handle can act as a place for a hook to hang from a ceiling rod or hook. With grooves in the handle you can orientate your model in a nose down or up attitude depending on your CG and where the hook is placed on the handle. Here is an example using the 52.5 inch ICON A 5. Music wire can be used but in this case normal coat hanger wire is used to support the 53.5 ounce (3.3 pound model). You will need wheel collars, plyers, a round file or Dremmel to make grooves in the handle wire.

This technique was adapted from handles that were made for an Apprentice, Timber and Valiant foamy models.

Two nights ago my trex 600 went up in flames with it took every thing even my home see i lived in a rv traveling the. Country with my rcs and i had a lot of them from cars planes and drones helis and much more now i have nothing but burnt up and blackened melted Electronics and all because of a lipo battery in my T-rex 600 helicopter caught fire under the table and then cut everything on fire in my RV losing everything because of a lipo battery I don't know how it caught fire I wasn't here in the RV at the time it happened thank God I would have been officiated with the smoke because it totally black and everything melted all the vents out of the roof and ceiling everything is blocking cabinets are burnt everything in the cabinets burnt even my DX8 controller melted in half I blade 360 helicopter my 180 blade helicopter Michael earthquake RC car my terremoto RC car and so forth and so forth pretty much around $6,000 of RC vehicles gone including my home I was a little thing that kept me positive and keeping on in life to give me some kind of happiness and now it's gone there's no way in this lifetime I'll be able to save up enough to get another helicopter to fly or ever be happy again just goes to show don't take anything for granted because when when you don't least expect it it'll be gone could be gone treat the LiPO batteries with respect and balance them make sure that they're kept in a fireproof bag for the LiPO batteries cuz if you don't it could start a fire if they get discharged below 3.75 they become unstable and I can catch a fire I'm proof of it and unfortunately I knew I didn't have insurance on my home or at the RC I'm trying to stay positive maybe one day I'll be able to afford another helicopter to fly and one day and maybe have a smile on my face once again okay look out there all of these are Sears have fun fly hard rubber down
